MORTIMER M. JACKSON PROFESSORSHIP OF LAW

The late Judge Mortimer M. Jackson by his will gave $20,000 to the
University, the income to be used to maintain a chair of law. The Regents
in 1890 formally established the Mortimer M. Jackson Professorship of
Law. Judge Jairus H. Carpenter, for many years Dean of the Law School,
was the first incumbent of this chair, which he held until his death in 1913.
Professor Howard L. Smith held the professorship until his retirement in
June 1926, and Dean Harry S. Richards from 1926 until his death in April
1929. Since June 1929 Professor W. H. Page has been the incumbent.

SUMMER SESSION
June 28 to August 29, 1930

The summer session of the Law School extends over a period of ten
weeks. The work is carried on in the same manner and with the same
thoroughness as during the regular session. Courses are arranged to
meet the needs of beginning and advanced students. The courses are the
equivalents of those given in the first, second, and third years of the long
session and carry full credit toward the law degree. Full work during
the summer session consists of twelve hours per week. Written examina-
tions are held at the completion of the courses. Students successfully
completing courses aggregating twelve hours per week for the summer will
receive credit for one-third of a regular academic year’s work. The ses-
sion thus enables students of this and other law schools and teachers or
students in the College of Letters and Science who have completed the
equivalent of three years of college work to shorten considerably the calen-
dar period of residence required here and elsewhere for the law degree. The
courses are so arranged as to be of service to practicing lawyers who may
wish to pursue systematic investigation of particular subjects.

During the summer of 1930 the following courses will be offered: For
first-year students: Contracts and Introduction to Law. For second and
third year students: Agency, Conveyancing, Damages, Equity II, Insur-
ance, Municipal Corporations, Partnership, Public Service Companies,
Quasi-Contracts and Suretyship.
